Marlene Cannings was born in Birmingham on April 17, 1948.Mom was ill for many years althogh when she did pass away it was sudden and unexpected,She was to young to die, mom never put herself first even when she was having a bad day, she always put everyone else first,She cherished us Children and Our Dad,She often went without to give others when they was in need.When we was growing up mom was always known for feeding the whole neighbourhood.I Miss my mom so very much, She is much loved and will always be remembered by all her family.Especially Children Michelle, Stephen and Julie.in-laws John and Sharon.and grandchildren Mark, Kyle, Kelly, Craig and Ryan. Little did we know that morning God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide. And though we cannot see you, you are always by our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same. But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again. If we could have a lifetime wish and one dream that could come true We would pray to God with all our hearts just to see and speak to you A thousand words won’t bring you back We know because we’ve tried and neither will a million tears We know because we’ve cried You’ve left behind our broken hearts and precious memories too But we’ve never wanted memories We only wanted you
